4 SITUATION report BACKGROUND: You and a fellow Squad Commander have been assigned to escort an important Envoy to a space station near the Sartor Gas Giant, Sartor has a large number of moons orbiting it. This is an extremely dangerous sector and you will most likely need to clear the area of any threats that arise in order for the Envoy s ship to proceed safely to the meeting point, High Command has made it clear that you must be prepared to sacrifice your ships if needed to protect the Envoy on his mission. RULES OF ENGAGEMENT: When a player assigns maneuver dials, they may assign them to the ships card rather than placing them next to the ships base. This prevents a player from mistaking their opponent s dial for one of their own. When a player s ship is dealt/recieves a Damage Card, the card is dealt from that player s own Damage Deck. Players must maintain their own discard piles for their Damage Cards. Before shuffling, players may request to examine their opponents Damage Deck to confirm the contents are correct. The TO may check damage decks/cards at any time during the event. A player may request that one range ruler be used during a match due to minor variations in the template printing process and the existence of third party products. 4
